South would have liked a slightly better suit for the five-level pre-empt. However, at favorable vulnerability there was much to gain from a fullblooded barrage. North, with a fair number of tricks to contribute to the cause as long as partner held some length in hearts, decided to gamble on there not being two fast losers in spades, and raised to slam. vulnerability barred East from entering the auction at the six-level.
West decided that a heart lead was unlikely to prove fruitful and a diamond lead might compromise partner's holding, so she settled on a spade as the opening salvo. Dummy's nine fetched the queen and was ruffed in the closed hand. The ace of clubs brought the news that there was a trump loser, so the fate of the slam hinged on locating the queen of diamonds. Declarer set, about a discovery process. A heart to the ace provided the entry' for a spade ruff, and a heart was; trumped on the table, followed by: another spade ruff.
Since overruffing' would leave West trapped in an endplay, the defender discarded a heart. South exited with a trump to West's king. Since there were no more trumps in dummy, West could exit safely with a. heart; but when East discarded a spade on this trick, declarer's count of the hand was complete. 4 West was known to have eight hearts and two cards in each black suit and, hence, only one diamond.
Declarer led a diamond to the ace and, when the queen did not appear, announced she would take the finesse of the 10 on the way back. Yes, declarer was lucky to be able to place the queen of diamonds with certainty. However, those seemingly futile maneuvers, which could not cost, reaped a rich harvest here. 16 Tribune Media Services, Inc. 63 Che's first name 10 Light source 64 Accord 11 WWII General 65 Annual Madison Amold Square Garden 12 Money changers? event 13 Sills, for one 14 Dreyfus Affair crime DOWN 21 "Smooth Operator" 1 Circulates singer 2 Noodle holder? 24 Bric-a-brac stand 3 Contrition 26 Rusty of '70s-80s 4 Field judge baseball 5 Prejudice 27 Kind of paper 6 Nautilus launcher 30 '60s antiwar gp.
